Bath Time

I love being able to either start the day of with a refreshing shower to get me going and absolutely LOVE the feeling of being able to wash the day away with a bubble bath.  (Yes, I admit it, I LOVE bubble baths.)

With that said….I find it hard to understand the hatred my son has for taking a bath.  Does it hurt?  NO!  Does it make you dirty and slimy?  NO! Maybe he has a fear of water…..lol (now that’s funny seeing that you can’t get him out of a pool.)  So why oh why is it so hard to get my son into the bathtub? 

Honestly, I cannot even begin to comprehend why a bath is so bad.  I allow him to bring toys into the bath (yes, there are more toys in the bath tub than at the local toy store), he gets to pick out his favorite soap and wash cloth and we even purchased these really cool tablets that change the water different colors.  What more can you ask for?

I am completely baffled by this phenomenon.  Now here is the real kicker….once he is in the bath he entertains himself well and then I’m unable to get him out…..so why the fuss to get in? 

Bath time…..it’s one of things that you have to laugh at…..today he hates it, tomorrow (as a teenager) he’ll want to take 3 a day. 

SIGH
